Amazing stay!

We were in town for a wedding nearby & needed a homebase. Desiree‘s townhome was a perfect spot and a wonderful location. We enjoyed the morning sitting out on the deck taking in the view, spent Saturday hiking nearby on the gorgeous trails and Sunday meander through Harpers Ferry and had a wonderful meal at Hamilton Tavern! The house is a perfect location and we will definitely be coming back! Thanks Desiree for you hospitality!!

Lovely house with a GREAT location!

My family and I stayed at this lovely house for a belated Mother's Day celebration for the weekend. The deck has a beautiful view, and we had plenty of space. The house had everything we needed. Best of all, Harper's Ferry was a 15-20 minute walk away.

Perfect Weekend Stay

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend. The house was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, great location, and the perfect number of beds and baths. The house is only a few minutes from town and only about five minutes from gas and Walmart. The house was super clean, and Desiree was so easy to communicate with anytime we had questions. Would definitely stay here again the next time I come to Harpers Ferry.

Gone fishing

My grown siblings and I planned a mini reunion fishing trip over Labor Day weekend. The place was perfect! Each of us had our own bedroom and bath. The beds are very comfortable, the place is well appointed and the layout of the home allows for space to gather. And the views are spectacular. And so close to town and everything. The host could not have been nicer and provided so many great suggestions for restaurants and local points of interest of which there are many. We fished the Potomac and the Shenandoah Rivers - great fishing. Great experience and beautiful scenery. This was the perfect place to come back to and relax.

Good base

The property had more than enough space for our family of 5. It was in a great neighborhood, which was located very conveniently to the various trails of the National Park (5mins drive) and the wineries of Virginia (15mins drive). There were a handful of cute restaurants/cafes within walking distance. If you're in great shape (and its not a heatwave), the historic town of Harper's Ferry and all its shops and restaurants are about a mile away. The property is as described. Host is very responsive. For awareness, the home appears to be lived in fulltime when not rented out; mentioning in case that's a dealbreaker for folks.

Great Home!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Awesome view from the balconies. Very clean home. Only about 10 minutes walk to some restaurants and one edge of the river (where you can start some hikes). It was further to Harpers Ferry itself, but we walked it a few times. Great WiFi. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to stay here.

Lovely condo with so much room!

We loved that there were 4 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. It was a bit of a walk to town for 4 ladies in their 60s, so we ended up driving. Found parking on a Thursday evening but Saturday was definitely “tourist” day. We really enjoyed the barn (short walk) and the Scottish festival in a town nearby. Loved that the owner was so involved in the community!! Thanks Desiree!!

Convenient to trails and historic Harpers Ferry (~ 1.1mi)

Nice stay at this townhome. It’s was close to where we wanted to be. Good for a weekend getaway so we can check out the historic Harpers Ferry area and do some hiking on the nearby trails. The kitchen was stocked with the cups, plates, utensils water kettle, keurig machine…all that we needed. The 2 parking spaces in front of the house were convenient, and the view from the windows was beautiful. I wish one of the rooms had two twin beds for the kids, but otherwise the house was what we needed. Thanks!

Perfect home away from home

Desiree's home was a lovely place to cool off after a long hot day of walking around Harper's Ferry. My sisters and I spent three lovely evenings sitting together in the comfortable living room, talking and enjoying the view of the mountains. All four bedrooms were clean and neat and gave all four of us good nights sleep. Desiree made us feel welcome right away. I highly recommend!
